About
The Studio

Amalgama-Architects Studio is an architecture and interior design studio based in Athens since 2015. We work on a wide range of building typologies and projects. Our name derives from our contextual approach which combines the wide experience from the fields of architecture, art and academia. A palimpsest of influences in order to create spatial narratives to the context and aspirations of each project. Light, materials, color and textures are all essential to the creation of form and shape. Throughout architecture and interior design, we aim to build identities informed with a deep understanding regarding every aspect of the project we undertake, renegotiating notions of tradition, locality and contemporary life.

Our philosophy is based on a conceptual approach inspired by poetic vision and rigorous design. The attention to details, and the emotion they can generate in people, is fundamental in our projects. Art, installations, study of formal archetypes, experiments with materials and the dialogue between opposites are some of the themes developed by the Studio.

Content of form

Place as context

Use of mediums

Spatial Experience

Each project starts with the analysis of its conceptual framework. After extensive research we conceive the theoretical context of the design that influences the decision making.

This part of the project is a key inspiration that influences ideas, needs and determines the range of tools to be used. The cooperation and exchange with our clients for the conceptual idea is of great significance to our work.

Each project is embedded in a spatial context. Place is the key medium to our design thinking process. It gives the story its structure and it is used as a tool in order to choose all other means for a coherent and integrated transmission of the message.

The interaction of spatial parameters in an interesting setting enhances the content of the spatial narrative and its message.

For our spatial narratives we use multiple mediums such materials, textures, color, texts, graphics, lighting, sound, and technological media. The use and combination of each tool creates a unique scenery according to the needs of each project.

The use of tactics such as visiting the space, walk through it, interacting with its form and overall experiencing its qualities in situ, are essential tools in the selection and use of mediums.

The engagement is a deep and essential process that coincides with substantial experience. The user, the visitor and the viewer experience space in a unique way. The experience derives from the feelings and correlations that are activated through the spatiality of the project.

Immersion and experience are two perspectives that ally and reinforce each other mutually. Immersion is a fundamental design strategy in our work, and the connection with the experience is our main objective.
